beer market on a friday night

i was being pulled along by lois to chill with rachel after class last night. it turned out to be a really bad night (for me)! LOL. come to think of it, there has never been a good night for me when it comes to going out to pubs for drinks. blame it on my really bad alcohol tolerance. :(

so, the three of us went to clarke quay and we walked randomly into this pub 'beer market'. we ordered beer and guess what? i was drunk after like approximately half a cup? i really couldnt take it! and here comes the drama. 3 guys walked over to our table and bought us drinks. they sat down and started chatting with us. they bought us beer and bought me red wine. wth. i didnt even touch anything at all cus i know i cant take it anymore.

in the end, i felt so drunk that i had to run to the toilet to puke! LOL. after puking, lois and i decided that we need to leave. i really wanna get home to sleep. lois also didnt like what was going on so we went back to our table and told the rest we had to go back. rachel still thought she haven't had enough of fun and decided to hop over to shanghai dolly with those guys for second round of drinks. omg.

so while we walked out of the pub, the guy who kept talking to me walked beside me and said this to me, "hey joanne, this is not a lousy pickup line but i think you look like jamie teo." i totally cant be bothered with what he said and at the back of my mind, i was actually thinking that its actually a pretty lousy pickup line. LOL!

so, i reached home and dropped dead on my bed and woke up with a terrible headache this morning.

the live band that night. i heard that the singer was one of the top 10 finalists in singapore idol. im not sure which season thou.

lois.

rachel.


my face and body were obviously turning red and look at my cup. its barely even half a cup lor!

trust me, this will be the first and the last time ever. im not drinking without my close peeps anymore, nobody knows me better than them. :)

sueping was so sweet!! she smsed me cus she's worried about my safety the moment she learnt that im going drinking. lois wanted me to sms her once i reached home and of course, my baby baby who's worried sick about me for the whole day yesterday. <3

Day 02 – The meaning behind your Tumblr WordPress name

the meaning behind my blogspot name? i dont know? i created this blog when i was 16. during that time, this name just came up on me and i decided to just use this name since then. yup, simple as that, no particular meaning behind the name of my blogspot.

what a really lame post. LOL. anyways, holidays are here!! but there's seriously nothing much for me to rejoice about except for the fact that baby baby is coming home in 1 month's time!! other than that, its work and school as usual.

my btt is on next tuesday. gotta stay home and do my final revision this weekend. im actually pretty much excited towards my first driving lesson. hehe.

my dead blog revived.

i realised a deleted blog can be revived by just a click, so here i am blogging away again. writing journals is a part of me, asking me to stop writing is equivalent to asking me to maim my hands. even thou im so busy nowadays, i practically dont have that much of a time to sit down and blog regularly like how i used to, but this blog has been with me since eons ago. it contains so much of my dramatic life like what yvette would describe my life as. thou most of the archives are gone, i still cant bear to delete away this blog. pisceseans are a bunch of sentimental people.

i was having some issues with myself since thursday. i swear its a total bad deepavali for me, an angry one i would say. i cant accept the fact for some reasons and one of the reason was cus 我是一个公私分明的人。 i draw a very clear line between work and my private life. whatever i did at work and however im like after work are two different matters for me. i act and do differently during and after work. i dont like colleagues to know much about my private life and the same goes for my friends and family. they dont know how im like at work and i consider this as one of the good points about me.

so, after i calmed down and reflect on this whole issue, i realised i shouldnt give up on blogging just cus of certain people. perhaps yvette is right, its not worth it to give up on something that i like to do cus of them. this blog is a public property of mine, everybody else who knows about this site has every right to read about everything i wrote in here. there's no way i can argue about this. and i have a clear conscience in my actions and words. i always give my best at work, i always say i want the best for my students, i always say i've this passion for teaching and not to forget, i adore the sense of satisfaction my job gives me. i enjoy what im doing and i definitely wont just stop here.

i dont like to get myself involve in all sorts of politics you'll encounter at work. whatever i hear, whoever who tells me anything, i'll just listen and forget about it. im definitely not someone who likes to go around telling tales and get myself involve in all these nonsense. i go to work, i do my job and i get my pay every month. thats it. i mean, come on, im not that childish and silly to make myself miserable everyday at work. and in any case, im dealing with children and parents and this alone is enough to give me headaches, so why do i wanna make myself feel even worse by playing politics with my colleagues? that is why, for you curious beings out there, if you're waiting for the day when you can read about me ranting about my colleagues, you'll never be able to see the day coming cus its just not happening.

and this includes my boss. whatever i've written about her so far are all good things about her cus one, i really think she's a good boss and two, she deserves all that praise from her subordinates and that includes the rest of my colleagues. so, just continue to be jealous of the good relationship between the two of us. sometimes, this is what people call, chemistry. i totally believe in having that chemistry for people to click.

犯错了就要勇于承认错误。 to err is human. nobody is perfect and the same goes for me. im not the perfect teacher out there, not the perfect daughter, not the perfect friend and not the perfect girlfriend out there. but im willing to learn from my mistakes and improve from them. im still undeniably young and the experiences that i have cant be compared to anyone of you out there. i've never been disrespectful to anyone whom i think deserves my respect. so, doing something like this behind other people's back will definitely, absolutely lose that lil respect from me.

anyway, who am i to start things with? im just a nobody. so why are you so curious about me? where did that curiosity inside you come from? even after days of reflection, i still cant figure out the link between everything. bizarre and scary at the same time.

my life is seemingly so interesting eh? so captivating that so many people cant take their eyes off my blog. well, sometimes people just need a lil entertainment to keep themsevles occupied i guess? maturity doesn't comes with age and doing this just proves me even further the credibility of this statement.

and its only now then i realised that it doesn't matter if they wanna read about my life and know everything about me from head to toe cus i've nothing to hide. the only thing im mad about was the fact that i've failed to protect the closed ones in my life. i loathe the fact that all of you knows about all my closed ones in my life. i loathe the fact that im so naked in front of all of you now, letting all of you see who's my boyfriend, my besties, my family and all that stories about me.

however, like i said, i've nothing to hide. but i've learnt my lesson so there are of course some things that you wont get the chance to read anymore. its just saddening to know how despicable, pretentious and cunning this world can get.

my everything



watching this video totally reminds me of baby baby, those days when he took care of me when he's here with me.

the times when i felt down at work and whined to him about the bad days and he'd always reply me with "dont worry baby, in 6hours' time, you'd probably forget everything when i see you tonight again." miraculously, true enough, i'd always feel happier when i see him again. and not to forget how he took care of me when i stayed over at his place; how he rubbed medicated oil on my tummy for me when i complained that my tummy hurts and how he took care of me and put me to sleep when i was drunk. those days were pure bliss. ♥

come to think of it, he was always there for me for the 3months plus when he was here with me. we were always there for each other, be it during the ups or downs. this is what i adore, never leaving each other alone no matter what. :) even at times like now when we're apart, we'd still make an effort to listen to each other's worries and woes. i know he likes to care for me and i love to care for him too. we're gonna overcome the long distance okay baby baby? i have absolute faith in us cus i know im a good girlfriend and my baby baby loves me the most. ♥

love aside...

sometimes even i cant believe i have such accurate sixth sense. maybe some of you might think its bullshit or coincidences or whatever, but i really do have this kinda scary intuition thingy that allows me to somehow sense signs and omens of bad things happening to my family or anything related to me. weird enough, no, i cant sense anything bad happening to my friends.

it was yesterday when i suddenly had this weird intuition that something bad is gonna happen to me. i wasn't feeling good till i went to sleep cus i decided to brush the bad feeling aside thinking that... im gonna quarrel with baby again. LOL. cus for the past 3weeks, whenever i quarrelled with him, this bad intuition will come to me. however, when i went to work this morning, i kept thinking about it. its impossible that the intuition is trying to tell me about baby cus we had been really good and fine.

and guess what?

i received a bad news this afternoon. grandma was admitted to the hospital cus she had another fall again. i just asked my mom and heard from her that her bone was fractured and need an operation. however, due to other complications, she might not be able to have the operation and if she cant go for the operation, she might need to be hospitalised for 3 to 4 months! :( mom said grandpa suffered from the same problem before he passed away. you know.. fell down, bone fractured, gotta stay in the hospital for a long time but before he can even survive that long, he was gone in just 2 weeks' of hospitalisation. :(

not that im trying to sound negative, but my sixth sense is telling me that something bad is gonna happen again. yes its scary i know.. sometimes i hope my sixth sense wont be that accurate but time and again, they always come true! :(

i love my grandma a hell lot cus she really dotes on me a lot. i will never forget the days when she would always come early in the morning and fetched me over to her place when my parents went to work, the times when she told me about the world war II stories she went through, the times when she told me about how she met my grandpa, how fierce grandpa was, the times when she told me about her younger days, how she took care of her parents and her younger siblings, the times she shared many of her life experiences with me. i'll never forget the days when grandpa fetched me home from kindergarten everyday, taught me to do my homework, brought me to the playground everyday, buy tidbits for me everyday, walked me to school everyday when i was big enough to go to primary one. grandpa gradually became old and third aunt was the one walking me to school everyday when i was in primary three.

my grandparents and my third aunt were the ones taking care of me and looking after me when i was young. when grandpa passed away, i was only 11. even thou i had so much gratitude towards him, i cant express them out at all. i just felt really sad when he's gone, when nobody is gonna buy me tidbits, teach me homework or bring me to the playground anymore. so, im really thankful i still have my grandma with me. she taught me a lot of things, all the valuable life lessons and without her, i probably wouldnt be what i am today.

so god, buddha, or whatever deities above, please let her be alright. mom said she didnt eat anything at all the whole day today since she was admitted. please grant her strength and let her be strong enough to go through this ordeal just like the last time.

happy 22nd birthday bestie!

the title says it all. bestie turned 22 yesterday! had a really simple meal last night, but our conversations and rantings made our evening interesting.








happy birthday bestie! love you! :)

she's all that i want in a girl ♥

the title sounds so gay huh? HAHAHA. but its true. she's understanding, nice, caring, lovely and i think she could be the best girlfriend any guy could have in the world. its their loss for not knowing how to cherish such a lovely girl like her. :)

life is like a roller coaster ride, there's ups and downs at certain points in life. but when everything else goes wrong, when you really need someone to lend you a listening ear, who's always there for you? im lucky cus my favourite girls will always be there. im really grateful to yvette for being there for me even during late nights when everybody else should be sleeping, she's awake, giving me encouragement and support when i needed someone to share my woes.

met her on my children's day off on friday for dinner and ktv. we coinicidentally wore matching outfits, nautical stripes! LOL. anyway, i totally love this maxi dress that i wore out! anyway, i was having some jay chou concert in partyworld, singing one whole chunk of his songs, admiring him for his piano skills. LOL. seriously, guys who play piano are just so mesmerizing!






thanks for being there for me always, lao jie! ♥ you loads!

happy 1 month since baby flew back!

i know the title is really lame but its you know.. one of those i-run-out-of-titles-to-put days! :) but then again, the truth is baby is gone for 1 month already! time flies eh? 2 more months before i see my baby baby again!

anyway, life is busy as usual, busy with work and did i mention that i went for my school's orientation last wednesday? the school is goddamn strict with all the rules and regulations. GPA must be higher than 2.50 to graduate, cant be late for classes for more than half an hour if not you'll be marked as absent thou you're present, no late submissions for projects or assignments if not you'll either be marked down by a grade or you'll get a F straight away. i told myself im gonna strive for a GPA 3.00 at least!

attended teachers' day dinner last friday. colleagues teased me and said that night was 'Joanne's night' cus i was up on stage thrice. first for long service award, next up i won a coffee maker in the lucky draw (i gave it to my colleague in the end since its useless to me and family) and lastly, i went up the stage for a game. i was really reluctant to participate in the silly game but was forced by the emcee to go up. the emcee for the night really kinda likes me? he was flirting with me openly on stage while playing game. my goodness. i was so freaking embarrassed with all his teasings! food was bad, sucks to the max. pastries and cakes were lousy as well, not in the least bit satisfying at all.

went out with bestie to bugis on sunday. we, err no, correction, I went on a major shopping spree. bought home a pair of wedges, one maxi dress, one shirt, one skirt and earrings. i saw a polka dot cropped top and i was kinda tempted to make it mine but after hesitating for a long time, i didint purchase it. should i go back for it?





half day tomorrow, children's day outing and friday off, long weekend yo! :D

mad busy from october onwards.

somehow or rather, i wish for october and november to come and go quickly so that i'll be able to see baby baby soon in december again.

but then again, i kinda dread the arrival of october and november as well cus i'll be really busy when school starts in mid october and i finally went down to BBDC after work today. i registered and booked my BTT in november. i finally took the very first step out towards learning driving. not to forget, work is gonna be really busy as well with all the graduation concert, rehearsals, portfolios, PTC and so on.

wow, im amazed at my busy schedule, things that need to be done on my agenda.

1. school
2. driving lessons
3. work

these 3 things are gonna be my short term goals for the next 2 years and obviously they are gonna take up most of my time as well. im probably packed with work and school during weekdays and driving lessons during the weekends. leisure? no, dont think i'll have time for that. even if i manage to squeeze some time out during the weekends, it'd probably be used for doing assignments and projects.

i've seriously thought of quitting my job and concentrate on my studies till i graduate. however, the position that im holding now is of great advantage to me. i really want this experience so that when i graduate 2 years later, i could easily apply for a supervisory post in other schools with the experience that i once had. should i quit or should i stay?

driving is perhaps something that i would stretch over a longer period of time to complete cus by looking at my busy schedule now, i cant really fork out extra time for driving lessons except for the weekends, which is like maybe the most, once or twice per week? furthermore, with my slow understanding and grasp of controlling the car, i'd probably take forever to be ready for the practical test. LOL.

they say time pass faster when you're busy with tons of things to do.

i really want december to come fast cus i miss baby baby so much! no matter how busy i will be, he'd still be constantly on my mind. i'd still want to spend that measly 3 weeks with him amongst my busy schedule and so on. we've agreed to spend every single day with each other when he comes back cus time is never more than enough for us. somehow, i learnt something from this long distance relationship. i learnt to treasure him and our relationship more cus the separation makes me yearn for him more and treasure our love more.

we've talked about dreams together 2 years later, happy and lovely dreams. i would really love to fulfil them for the both of us. :)

popo's birthday!

here comes the yearly affair, MY BELOVED POPO'S BIRTHDAY!! its like a grand thing for my family each year, other than the chinese new year. before this, im really guilty for not visiting her for months! she kept telling my mom she missed me and asked her why i havent been visiting her for so long whenever mom went over to see her every saturday. im such an unfilial granddaughter! :(

uncle booked a room for the whole family to have dinner in some restuarant that has the karaoke system inside. it seems like its the trend nowadays for holding birthday dinners in private rooms that have karaoke.











cousins forever!






national bowler cum cousin in law, remy ong!


my LOVE! ♥♥♥

i believe we all had fun that night and i always love gatherings like this cus i love my big family. :)

crystal jade steamboat + jin shan mooncake!

met up with yvette yesterday after 4 months of not seeing each other! brought her to crystal jade kitchen for steamboat dinner. i really love to eat steamboat there for their good environment and affordable price as well. :D managed to catch up with her after so long, talking about everything from work to friends to relationship. i always enjoy talking to her. :)



after steamboat, we walked around and went to TCC for drinks.




on my way home, i dropped by baby's house cus his parents bought me mooncake from jin shan. talked to his mom for awhile and she introduced baby's granny to me. LOL. looking at his granny reminds me of my own popo. HAHAHA. fat fat, cute cute and blur blur. LOL. his mom drove me home after that and webcamed with baby as usual before i sleep. :D

love my baby baby so much! he's the best boyfriend i could ever have. <3

deletion of the past.

i decided to delete away all memories of the past today. maybe someday i might just abandon this blog too.

anyway, i lost my voice since last wednesday and i only went to the doctor today. doctor said its cus of allergy to dust or some dirty particles in my school that causes me to lose my voice all of a sudden. he gave me 2 days mc for tomorrow and friday. but how can i not go back to work when friday is the last day of term 3? so much things undone. i decided to go back to work tomorrow, too much things need to be done.

baby is gone for 3 days now? miss him like hell! he couldnt get a connection till today and we cant see or talk to each other till today. how miserable can this get? everybody has been comforting me, asking me to cheer up. oh well, you wont understand the sudden sense of lost when you're so close to a particular someone, spending almost everyday with him and he's gone all of a sudden, ALL OF A SUDDEN. okay fine, its pre-planned, but but... im still suffering from separation anxiety. :( okay, at least its not so bad now cus we get to talk to each other on the webcam. however, time is limited cus of his tight timetable for this term and i guess things will get worse in october when my school starts.

right, talking about school, im starting school in october. ultra mad sian. no choice, for the sake of my future plans, my future ambition to be my own boss, i gotta just get those useless papers. they're useless isnt it? are we gonna use those freaking theories and thesis and whatever shit after we graduate? hell no. half of the time, i dont use those things at work at all. i really dread going back to those days when i've to do tons of research and write thousand word essays. thinking about it makes me shiver but what to do? i still gotta bite my teeth and hang on for 2 years. but well, on the bright side, studying enriches our knowledge.

work has been disastrous this whole damn year up till now. so much things happening at work but well, i learnt not to take things to heart and not to bother so much about other people and other issues that dont concern me. the higher you climb, the more people hate you. this is really true, theres no such thing as all fair and square. i hope next year will be better, really.

unhappy issues aside, my mind is all full of vacations and more vacations. LOL. i keep telling baby that i wanna go australia for our vacation next june but that boy would rather go to asian countries like taiwan instead. i just came back from taiwan, dont feel like wasting the money to go there again next year. maybe in 2012? bangkok sounds good? he doesnt wanna go. :( maybe i could have an all girls trip to bangkok? shop till we drop? :D COME ON GIRLS, TELL ME YOU'RE WITH ME! :DDD

abrupt end here cus im feeling rather sleepy now. must be the medicine thats causing the drowsiness in me, gotta go get my beauty sleep now.

sense of lost.

♥♥

♥♥♥


he's flying off this sunday morning. :(

no more surprises to send me to work or fetch me home from work, no more ang mo kio/bishan trips to buy me my favourite honey milk tea from koi, no more covering of blanket for me before i sleep, no more bear hugs from him, no more snuggling together under his quilt, no more lame entertainment from him, nobody physically here to take care of me like how he does and nobody here for me to whine to or annoy.

why do i feel this sudden sense of lost when i knew sunday is getting nearer? no, i dont wish to think about it now. sigh.

Sunday, August 15, 2010

im busy as a bee.

i know i should continue with my taiwan part II but seriously, im really lazy to recall and blog everything else out plus i really dont have the time to sit down dilligently in front of the computer to do this.

wow, its amazing to know how long i havent been blogging. i used to blog quite frequently jotting down the daily events happening to me or around me. i used to enjoy blogging pretty much cus its one way how i can vent all my frustrations or share my happiness.

anyway, life is really busy these few months. after i came back from my vacations in june, i'd been really busy at work, attending meetings with bosses, busy with the graduation concert dance, doing projects with my class and trained my students for the sports day which was over. work cant be any busier than this. and damn, i still gotta prepare for this coming tuesday cus my principal and supervisor are gonna sit in to my class and observe my teaching.

apart from work, i spent almost all my free time with baby, staying over with him almost every weekends, meeting him almost everyday after my work. seeing him makes me forget all my unhappiness instantly. yes, its THAT magical. there was once i got quite unhappy over something but the moment i saw my baby, i just got happy all over again and started annoying him and talking to him non-stop like a chatterbox. LOL. in case you still dont know, my favourite thing to do when i see him is to annoy him! i love seeing his irritated plus ultra cant-stand-me face! HAHAHA. dont think that im the bad one cus he loves to annoy me as well!

been spending alot of time at his place, so ever often that sometimes when im not there, his mom will question him about my absence. LOL. just yesterday, his parents brought me to marina bay sands for dim sum without him. how weird can this get? eating with his family without him? LOL. i thought its gonna be weird without baby around. i used to feel funny or embarrassed whenever im eating with them but not any longer now. :) anyway, his parents are really nice and funny people! they'd always ask me along whenever they're heading out for lunch or dinner. i really enjoyed hanging out with them every week. :)

baby's going back to usa in 2 weeks' time. sigh. im probably only seeing him in december i guess? no more stayovers, no more fun and games at his place, no more spending times with him, no more fun and laughters with him. how am i gonna survive the 3 months till december without him? :(

we're gonna be 8months old this month. fast? i still have this feeling that we just got together not long and yet, its 8 months already.

baby baby, we're soon to be 8 months old! are you happy? :)


i love my bad baby!
